Amended and restated credit agreement, description		Purple LLC agreed to enter into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, under which two of the Lenders (“Incremental Lenders”) agreed to provide an incremental loan of $10.0 million such that the total amount of principal indebtedness provided to Purple LLC is increased to $35.0 million. A stockholder meeting was held on February 25, 2019 at which time a majority of non-interested stockholders voted in favor of this transaction. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and each of the related documents, was accordingly closed, and the incremental $10.0 million loan was funded on February 26, 2019, and the Company issued to the Incremental Lenders 2.6 million warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Among other things, the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the maturity date for all loans under the Credit Agreement to five years from closing of the incremental loan, lowers the amount allowed for an asset-based loan to $10.0 million, revises certain restrictive covenants to make them more applicable to the Company’s current business, provides the ability for the Company to request additional loans from the Lenders not to exceed $10 million and other closing conditions, representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. All indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bears interest at 12.0% per annum and is payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, provided that Purple LLC will be required to pay up to an additional 4.0% of interest per annum if it fails to meet certain EBITDA thresholds and an additional 2.0% of interest per annum if the Company is not in material compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, Purple LLC may elect for interest in excess of 5.0% per annum to be capitalized and added to the principal amount. Any principal pre-payments in the first year are subject to a make-whole payment, while principal pre-payments in years two through four are subject to certain pre-payment penalties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for certain remedies to the Lenders in the event of customary events of default and provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders. Purple LLC continues to be restricted from making annual capital expenditures in excess of $20.0 million and incurring capital lease obligations in excess of $10.0 million at any time outstanding, subject to limited exceptions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.					The Lenders agreed to make a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement entered into as part of the Business Combination. In conjunction with the Credit Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to assign to the Lenders an aggregate of 2.5 million warrants to purchase 1.3 million shares of its Class A Stock. In 2019, two of the Lenders agreed to provide an incremental loan of $10.0 million (see Note 10 – Long-term Debt, Related-party). The Lenders in aggregate had $41.6 million in principal borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020, comprised of $35.0 million in original loan amount and $6.6 million in capitalized interest. Pursuant to the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company did not make any cash interest payments to the Lenders during the three or six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company made a cash interest payment of $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a negative covenant was removed so that there would not be an event of default if Lenders acquired 25% or more ownership of the Company. As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, CCP and Blackwell were granted 2.6 million warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company's Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. In May 2020, pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement upon the condition that Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceased to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company, the exercise price of the warrants were adjust to $0 per share.
